All sorts of blind cunts out there today. Coming home from work, was waiting at a junction to pull onto the A5 and saw a Mondeo in full 'battenburg' livery pass. Let a few more cars past and pulled out. I could see the Mondeo wasn't a plod car as the blocks were green and yellow.... but all the other numpties on the road stuck behind it at 50mph :-( Even when we hit a dual-carriageway, everyone crept past at 69mph.... of course, having spotted it as a paramedic car, I flew past at 90-ish as soon as I got a chance.
I almost hit a motorbike today in my Discovery. Kids were late for school ya see. I came screeching round the corner and almost flattened the ****. I felt so bad, I turned round and took a short cut back. As I pulled out of a junction, I almost had him off AGAIN! Would you believe it, but with all that on my mind and 3 screeming kids in the back, I couldn't decide whether to go to school or not. AND THERE HE WAS AGAIN, up my arse (not literally). So don't tell me YOU had a bad day.
SteveH wrote I had a glorious little chug. Left home at 11 to get to Southend to see the accountant. The sun was out, the roads were empty so I decided to go down the sea front. When I came out I had a little plod along the front still further towards Shoebury coz the sun was still out and the tide was still in. Came home via the still amazingly empty twisties and a detour back into Southend half way through to have a cup of tea round at my baby's doss.

[snip] Sadly I doubt most A-class drivers (or any drivers for that matter) have even realised it's possible to have 'side visibility'...
Bear fascinated us all by saying... My old school mate Steve Mattin was the man who designed the A Class. Want me to go round his dads and ask him to redesign it properly for you. -- Lozzo '95 Kawasaki ZZR1100D, '97 Kawasaki GPZ500S, '83 Honda CB250RS Big Zed Little Zed Dead shed New to ukrm? : www.ukrm.net/faq/ukrmscbt.html "He's not big and he's not called Tony"
No, it came up in conversation between Clarkson and Alan Davies.
